Mark Vann's spirit parted company with his body on March 4, 2002. Mark consistently lived by the motto of "Go Big!." He applied this motto to both playing music and his unending willingness to offer his time and knowledge to teach anybody who wanted to learn. He encouraged others to "Dream Big", "Go Big", and "Pick Big", and personally supported their efforts to do so.

The Mark Vann Foundation was created to continue the spirit of joy, gratitude, and generosity that Mark brought to our collective communities through his life and music.

The Mark Vann foundations primary mission is to serve community based non-profit organizations bringing light, love, and laughter into the lives of those in need through nature, music, and the arts; and to provide a conduit for kindhearted people with similar values to nurture impactful positive change within their own communities.

This year the 5th annual Mark Vann Foundation Holiday Benefit is no exception to the motto of "Go Big". With a strong showing of pickers, musicians, and friends from the Colorado area and beyond this show is a must see. Besides all the great music, the night will Go Big with Wigs, encouraging everyone to wear your favorite wig and/or 70s attire, a silent auction, raffles, and an art fair. Also, a special addition this years festivities is a music supply drive for Think 360 which supports the youth of the community by placing much needed musical supplies in Denver area schools.

You never know what other musicians, artists, friends, family, or surprises might show up to celebrate the life and music of Mark Vann so make sure to come out and support the cause!
